Kyle Singler, Detroit Pistons

If we've learned anything about Kyle Singler's NBA potential this season, it's that he's a good role player.

Not okay, not tremendous. Just good.

He began the season by drilling three-pointers at will and then cooled off consistently. The Detroit Pistons stuck with him in the starting lineup because he's an all-around contributor and the only true small forward on the roster.

Lately, his work hasn't been spectacular, but he played a key role and scored a combined 15 points in Detroit's wins over the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Tyler Zeller, Cleveland Cavaliers

Much of Tyler Zeller's offense comes from mid-range because his Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Tristan Thompson is busy being the low-post threat.

Nevertheless, Zeller would do himself a big favor by asserting himself closer to the hoop. He was doing a good job of it a week ago; he's reverted back to his jump-shooting ways since. If he gets more aggressive on the block, he'll draw more fouls and have a greater impact on the game.

Right now, he's drawing no fouls and committing a boatload himself.

His most recent game is a prime example. Zeller scored eight points, which is great. But he only took one shot in the paint, drew no fouls and picked up five of his own.

Since he joined the Rockets in January, he gradually won the trust of Kevin McHale and earned more court time. He fits perfectly with Houston's run-and-gun style, as he attacks with his speed and is a capable outside shooter. With nine assists in 22 minutes against Denver on Saturday, Beverley showed he's capable of running a high-octane offense.

Meyers Leonard, Portland Trail Blazers

It was a quiet week for Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard, as he got less playing time and less touches than he did during his monster stretch to end March.

Foul trouble is partially to blame, as he recorded five fouls against the Houston Rockets and four against the Los Angeles Lakers. That's nothing for Blazers fans to worry about, as it's bound to happen from time to time, and his defensive discipline is only going to get better.

Portland has a brutal schedule to finish the season, as the Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers and Warriors await. Leonard should use it as a challenge to improve his offensive rebounding (he's averaging 2.5 per 36 minutes) and drawing fouls.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Bobcats

A season of offensive inconsistency continues for Charlotte Bobcats forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

The defensive-minded Kentucky product has sprinkled in some aggressive games during his low-key second half of the season. Those select few games have been highly entertaining, and his 18-point outing against the Miami Heat was one of them.

He was adventurous against Erik Spoelstra's B team, taking 10 shots in the paint and seven outside jumpers. Most of his paint production came from decisive, physical drives, but some of it was generated from offensive boards.

Bobcats fans would love it if he could make this happen more than twice a month.

Maurice Harkless, Orlando Magic

Although his knee was giving him trouble less than a week ago, Orlando Magic forward Maurice Harkless had a heavy workload against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks.

He was used sparingly to begin the season, and but Jacque Vaughn played him 51 minutes against the Bucks on Wednesday. Harkless' dunk and assist in overtime were crucial in sealing the win.

If he was still at St. John's, it would have been the nearly the equivalent of playing every minute of a double-overtime NCAA game.

The point is, Harkless has been forced to mature and adapt in a hurry, and he's done an admirable job of developing as a pro. Not all of his games are impressive, but his growth on both ends of the floor is one of the most impressive stories of the 2012-13 rookie class.

Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes was stuck in a rebounding rut last week, and it started to affect his bottom line.

He broke out against the Minnesota Timberwolves, hauling in 10 boards en route to 15 points.

It was his fourth double-digit rebound game of the season, and it served as a reminder that good things happen when you crash the boards. In all four double-digit performances, Barnes also notched 10-plus points and the Warriors are undefeated in those games.

In the playoffs, it will be a matter of desire and focus. His skills are good enough, so as long as he plays in high gear, he'll be effective.

Anthony Davis, New Orleans Hornets

New Orleans Hornets top pick Anthony Davis has posted massive numbers over the past couple weeks, but it could be overshadowed by his most recent setback.

According to John Reid of The Times-Picayune, he suffered a sprained knee in Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings, and he will undergo an MRI on Thursday.

The Hornets hope it's merely a contusion.

Prior to the injury, Davis was having a magnificent week. He was snagging boards, running the floor, finishing pick-and-roll alley-oops and of course, blocking shots. The highlight was recording 24 points and 12 rebounds against the Utah Jazz's cast of post players.

For all basketball fans' sake, let's hope a healthy Davis is leading a playoff run at this time next year.
